Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution unlimited === A one-eighth scale turbojet test cell was used to investigate
the effects of various design parameters on augmentor
performance. The augmentor inlet design, nozzle-to-augmentor
spacing, engine flow rate, nozzle total temperature and
pressure, and augmentor tube diameter were varied to determine
what effect they had on augmentation ratio, total air pumped
through the system, and pressure, temperature, and velocity
distributions within the augmentor tube. In addition, two
augmentor tubes were combined in tandem to investigate the
characteristics of a tertiary augmentor configuration.
